ND deputies ask for the placement of Alexander the Great statue

Twenty-four deputies of New Democracy (ND)submitted a query to the Interior and Culture Ministers asking for the placement of a statue of Alexander the Great in Athens.


The deputies said that in 1993 the Culture Ministry purchased the bronze statue of the commander, work of the late sculptor Yiannis Pappas and granted it to the municipality of Athens.

However, "twenty years later, the city of Athens has not found a suitable spot to place the statue, which only causes grief and anger," the deputies said and asked for the necessary actions so that the agreement is met.
